Horrified by the recent murder of Kawthar al-Husayjawi, one of her female relatives describes what happened – and her fears for other women and girls forced into early marriage in Iraq
You do realize that “Christianity bad” doesn’t mean that “Islam bad” is false, right?
Both can be true at once.
I will however dispute that it is a question of extremism. The fact is that a majority of muslims, globally, hold views that I would consider to be misogynistic (feel free to update me on that if there is a more recent global study with the same scope).
If something is the norm in a group rather than a fringe idea, it can hardly be considered extremism. Given that Islam has many of these misogynistic values close to its’ core, it isn’t particularly shocking either.
As such, considering the above, I consider Islam to be bad on the whole. Note: this doesn’t mean that someone is inherently “bad” due to being muslim, or that “good” muslims don’t exist - I am acquainted with a few.
What’s happening in the middle east would be happening regardless of their superstition. It’s a region that has always been unstable, and WWI & II resulted in the west trying to drag them into their sphere of influence to take the oil
But I’d like to see the people who did this burn slowly, as well as anyone in the world who thinks it’s ok

Misogyny doesn’t automatically mean ritualistic murder, dude.
Christianity is barbaric, cruel and hateful
Judaism is cruel, barbaric and hateful
Islam is barbaric and hateful and cruel
They’re all fucked
